Before veneer placement, you will consult your dentist to discuss the best options for your case, and the number of veneers that should be placed depending on the condition of your teeth and budget. In some situations, it may be necessary to undergo other treatments before getting veneers, like using braces to correct uneven or crooked teeth.
Dental veneers refer to thin shells of tooth-colored material that are permanently bonded to the front surface of damaged teeth to enhance their appearance. They’re typically made from resin-composite or porcelain materials, and can be recommended to treat a range of cosmetic dental concerns including:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Discoloration or staining that can’t be fixed with whitening
- Smaller-than-average teeth
- Gaps in the teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Unusually shaped or pointed teeth
